Harrison County School District complies with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This Federal law defines users' rights and information management requirements applicable to the online collection and use of information from children under the age of 13. Certain district events including summer youth programs, camps, tours and similar activities may include participants under the age of 13 and the responsible events managers must understand and comply with the law's requirements. Events or other activities which specifically exclude the participation of children under the age of 13 or, those where the participants' information collection is not done online, are not required to comply with COPPA. In all cases, however, the events managers and website operators should be familiar with the law's requirements.
